 A tummy tuck is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure chosen by both men and women to achieve a slimmer, firmer abdomen. In fact, tummy tucks in Dubai were among the top five cosmetic surgeries in 2016.

As with any surgical procedure, you can expect scarring after a tummy tuck. However, there are steps you can take to help your scars heal better and fade faster. Here’s everything you need to know about this surgery, the scars it leaves, and what experts recommend as the best treatment for tummy tuck scars.

What is a tummy tuck in Dubai ?

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen to make it appear slimmer and firmer. This type of surgery is typically sought by patients with loose or sagging abdominal tissue following pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Abdominoplasty procedures vary in their scope and can be divided into different categories, such as full, partial, extended, and several others. A full abdominoplasty can take anywhere from one to five hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. A partial abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) can usually be completed within one to two hours.

Full recovery from this type of surgery can take up to 6 months, followed by further healing of the tummy tuck scar, which may take up to a year or more.

Abdominoplasty scars

Unfortunately, scarring after a tummy tuck is unavoidable. The extent of the scarring depends on the specific problem being addressed, the surgical techniques used, and other factors. There is considerable variation in scar placement for this procedure. The surgeon can employ specific techniques to ensure the scar is well-placed so that it is less noticeable as your wound heals. Even with the best surgical techniques, incisions will inevitably leave a scar as a result of the body’s natural healing process.

While scarring after a tummy tuck is expected and normal, certain factors can cause the wound to follow a difficult healing path, namely hypertrophic scarring and discoloration. These scars can be classified as either hypertrophic or pigmented scars. Both are due to increased collagen production during the wound healing process. The most common factor leading to hypertrophic scarring is infection from the incision. Therefore, it is important to take the necessary steps to ensure proper wound healing.

Best treatment for scars after tummy tuck in Dubai

One of the best ways to minimize the appearance of scars after a tummy tuck is to begin treatment early, within 10 to 14 days after surgery. While there are many topical treatments suggested for scars, silicone products are the only ones recommended by experts who set scar treatment guidelines for other doctors.

Silicone gel employs several different mechanisms that can help scars of all shapes and sizes heal faster and better. For example, silicone will moisturize the wound, meaning it will provide the necessary hydration to prevent dryness. As mentioned above, this is very important in preventing keloids and hypertrophic scars. In addition, silicone gel mimics the barrier function of healthy skin, providing occlusive properties that help prevent infection at the wound site.
